Melanie RD, CD

I knew I wanted to be a dietitian when I was in high school after hearing a dietitian teach a lesson on healthy eating at a youth group activity. I graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in dietetics and a minor in business management. After graduation, I completed an accredited internship through Utah State University and worked at facilities in Salt Lake City and Jordan, Utah. When I completed my internship, I was able to take and pass the registration examination to become a Registered Dietitian!

Currently I am working full time for WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), a government supplemental program that helps provide nutrition education and foods for those who need it in that population. I love my job and the people I get to work with everyday, and I learn so much from every person that comes into the clinic.

I love my job, and I love the opportunity it presents to work with young families to help promote healthy lifestyles early. I believe a healthy relationship with food is a key component to an overall healthy lifestyle.
